Tomorrow is the next gathering in our #houseofcards series. Gez will be helping us think about David's key relationship with Jonathan. We are back in ch.18-23 with a particular focus on the references in 18:1-4, 19:1-7, 20 & 23:15-18. Do join us if u are able. #Buildingtolast

With our next session coming up on Friday (10.04.26), we thought we'd share a summary of where we've been & where we are going in the series! This week the session is about Friendship as we focus in on David's key relationship with Jonathan. #Bulidingtolast #houseofcards

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

Next month Gez Perry will be sharing on the topic of Friendship. We remain in 1 Sam 18-23, but this time we'll look at the references to David's friendship with Jonathan (esp. ch.20 & 23) which was of supreme importance during this foundational period for David. #Houseofcards

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

We're very excited about this one! Join us on Friday evening as we discuss the seismic deterioration in David's relationship with Saul. This forces David onto the run but that proves to be a huge period of growth as he prepares to become King. #Houseofcards #Buildingtolast

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

Be aware that the date of our next gathering has moved to Friday 6th March - please do get this in your diary. We'll be talking about the souring relationship between Saul & David as pride, envy and distrust begin to take their grip. Do join us if you are able. #buildingtolast

Happy New Year! We're looking fwd to catching up at our next online gathering in Feb (no meeting in Jan). This time we'll be in 1 Samuel 17 thinking about David & Goliath. We have a guest speaker with us too. Save the date! #buildingtolast #Houseofcards @the_navigators

Happy Christmas all. That's a wrap for us in 2025. We'll be back Fri 13 Feb 2026 with the next installment in our 'House of Cards series'. Wishing you a wonderful time with your friends & families celebrating the birth of King David's greater son...King Jesus. #buildingtolast

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

Happy Christmas! This Friday's final session of 2025 is coming together well. This really is the key session in the series! We will meet David and think through some of the dynamics of why God chose him to succeed Saul as King. Great to see you if you can make it. #Houseofcards

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

We are so excited about the next part of #Houseofcards. We'll be in 1 Sam 16 as we meet 'the man after God's own heart' mentioned in ch.13 when God rejects Saul as King. This is our final #Buildingtolast of 2025 & begins our journey through the life of Israel's most famous King.

The final BTL of 2025 will be on Fri 12th Dec. This time Steve McClure will introduce David, and help us work through what it means that he was a man 'after' God's own heart. If you are around, and able to make it, we would love to see you there. #Houseofcards #Buildingtolast

Where might God be calling you to make your mark? Perhaps it is amongst your friends, within your family or in your workplace. Refuel is 9 days away and there are still spaces. Get signed up today and join us as we flesh this out together on Sat 22nd Nov. https://t.co/wz2iGwNTbg

[Building to Last @Building2Last]

Previous Refuel Days have been lots of fun! It's always so good to reconnect & make new friends. Through our relationships we 'make our mark' on those living around us! With only 2 weeks to go, if you still haven't signed up, why not do so today? https://t.co/wz2iGwNTbg

God said Israel had rejected Him in asking for a King. He gave them Saul who looked the part. But God looks not to outward appearances, but to the heart. Saul's choices in 1 Sam 131-5 betray that his heart was full, not of God, but of himself. Join us on Friday to learn more.
